a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.a dogs cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally. following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.you can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. healthy food can really do wonders. try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医） or is healthy for your pet. increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins a, c and e.keep your dog warm. the best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. at home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. this will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. it makes the nasal（鼻的） passage wet, which helps proper breathing. just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.these are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. however, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）.9. from the first paragraph we know about _.a. the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet b. characteristics of sick dogsc. the similarities between dogs and human beings d. causes and symptoms（症状）of cold in dogs 10. when your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _.aits favorite food bthe suggested food by the vet csome meat and water dfood rich in vitamin b11. when a dog catches cold, it is wrong to _.a. keep it inside during cold and wet weather b. leave

quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldc. treating a dogs cold sometimes needs a vets help d. cold in dogs wont spread between each other. dwhats black and white and read all over? not newspapers, at least not anymore. in fact, if youre like most young people, you probably dont read the newspaper at all.in one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local tv news and 44 percent visit internet news sites daily. as people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less. “theres a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news,” says media consultant merrill brown.just a generation (一代人) or two ago, the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. now, nearly every home has at least one tv set. theres high-speed, wireless internet both at home and in many public places. you no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. thanks to new technology, if you want to know whats going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one. so newspapers face a very big challenge. raised on mtv and video games, todays kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, quick information, and the chance to interact (互动) in real time, even when theyre reading about serious problems. if newspapers cant find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely. traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack (缺乏) of interaction. with web pages, on the other hand, theres more freedom. you can look through the things youre interested in, then follow links to other sources. you can join discussion groups, read other peoples opinions on a topic, or start a blog to express your own views.13. this passage is mainly about _.a. the disappearing newspaper b. different news sourcesc. the future of the internet d. the new technologies14. according to the passage, which of the following is not the disadvantage of newspapers?a. high price. b. lack of changes. c. slow speed. d. lack of interaction.15. the author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers is _.a. attractive b. bright c. hopeless d. uncertain第二节
